Shine for Me
[Verse 1]
Her voice embedded in my head
And the bezel of my heart is spellin' her name and it's tearin' me
'Cause I can't get her in my hands to put her on my arm
These expensive things are just wearin' me
'Cause nothin' even matters if her sun shines
Trapped in behind the clouds most of the time
I finally see why they guard her soul 'cause she's priceless
But there's somethin' that she ought to know, so

[Pre-Chorus]
She got me pickin' up rocks, tossin' them at her window
Baby, come outside
I gave it two or three knocks, standin' at the front door
'Cause I done ran out of rocks
(Oh, I gotta get up) And let her know she's perfect in ways
(She couldn't think of) And I think about her every day
This might not be love, but this crush
Got me wantin' to tell you today

[Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough, dust you off, baby
I wanna make you shine for me
And if I can take you out, I'll show you off, baby
I want the whole world to see
(Your future looks so bright) 'Cause they say I'm a star
(But you carry your own light) Shed some light on my heart
You're a diamond in the rough
I wanna make you shine for me, shine for me, shine for me
[Verse 2]
Now this might be the only time to say it
We're finally face-to-face and maybe, huh
You're probably scared to be put out on display
To be part of a showcase
But if I could paint a picture, you'd be my Mona Lisa
Baby, you're a work of art
And just when I thought I had her, baby girl, picked her bag up
Told me, "Watch out," then she ran back into the house now

[Pre-Chorus]
She got me pickin' up rocks, tossin' them at her window
Baby, come outside
I gave it two or three knocks, standin' at the front door
'Cause I done ran out of rocks
(Oh, I gotta get up) And let her know she's perfect in ways
(She couldn't think of) And I think about her every day
This might not be love, but this crush
Got me wantin' to tell you today

[Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough, dust you off, baby
I wanna make you shine for me
And if I can take you out, I'll show you off, baby
I want the whole world to see
(Your future looks so bright) 'Cause they say I'm a star
(But you carry your own light) Shed some light on my heart
You're a diamond in the rough
I wanna make you shine for me, shine for me, shine for me
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You're a diamond in the rough, dust you off, baby
I wanna make you shine for me
And if I can take you out, I'll show you off, baby
I want the whole world to see
(Your future looks so bright) 'Cause they say I'm a star
(But you carry your own light) Shed some light on my heart
You're a diamond in the rough
I wanna make you shine for me, shine for me, shine for me
